LEGACY MARKETS – DXY

Crypto Market Pulse: October 14, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - DXY

DXY had a strong rebound from the lows. With it now trading at mid-range there’s a good chance it slows down a bit. This should give crypto and equities some relief/more upside.

LEGACY MARKETS – VIX

Crypto Market Pulse: October 14, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - VIX

VIX is still chopping around the 21 level. Ideally, it fully retraces to the 14 levels again for further upside.

BTC WEEKLY VIEW

Crypto Market Pulse: October 14, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - BTC

BTC as mentioned last week, the retest of the 60k area could be a first real higher low. With BTC trading higher over the weekend it seems likely we will be testing the first higher high at 66.4k. If BTC manages to break above we have a real reversal on the cards.

ETH WEEKLY VIEW

Crypto Market Pulse: October 14, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - ETH

ETH is still stuck ranging between 2.4-2.7k. For now, the market is still in anticipation of ETH getting real outperformance over BTC.

ETH/BTC

Crypto Market Pulse: October 14, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - ETH

ETH/BTC is still trying to reverse although very sluggish. If it breaks lows here again 0.03 is likely on the table next. If not it could start forming a proper higher time frame reversal.

TOTAL3 USD MARKET STRENGTH

Crypto Market Pulse: October 14, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - TOTAL3/USD

Alts are starting to shape up quite firm. With the consolidation building nicely on the previous high. If BTC can stay stable/have some strength it’s quite likely that the market will start seeing more and more alts rally.

TOTAL3 BTC MARKET STRENGTH

Crypto Market Pulse: October 14, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - TOTAL3/BTC

TOTAL3/BTC is trying to break out of the compressed range again. The complete structure of TOTAL3/BTC has been building now since November 2023, if this now finally breaks upwards the real alt season likely happens.

SUMMARY

  • ALT/BTC continues to show strength with TOTAL3/BTC being on the brink of a macro reversal.
